And the Winner Is…

Today the folks at HGTV congregated at a local fulfillment house to select the winner of HGTV Dream Home 2010. Our president, Jim Samples, was on hand to chose the winning entry and read a thoughtful Christmas card from our 2009 winners (let’s just say they are doing well and are incredibly happy).

Could you be the lucky one? I honestly don’t even know the name or location of the winner. I cannot wait to watch the giveaway show on March 15 at 8 p.m. Anyone planning a dinner party? If so, don’t forget to serve our signature Dream Home margaritas.

Good luck!

  1. It's been so much fun thinking about how exciting it would be to win this home. I didn't realize that tomorrow night is the big night. I looked around my house at how the grandkids had trashed it, and quickly started cleaning, so at least I'll have a clean house if I'm not the winner. I imagine there are millions doing the same.

  2. Guys and Gals, don't let your dreams stop here! There is still a chance for the Green Home and not to mention many more Dream Homes to come I'm sure. Keep dreaming and take it one day at a time! Live each day to the fullest , Laugh often, and Love every minute of it!

  5. Does anyone know if the winner will be notified before the show is aired or if they are announcing it to the winner for the first time on the show?

    Niki on March 14, 2010 at 4:54 pm
    • its anybodys guess. HGTV has done it differently each time. THE BIG QUESTION: How do they know (HGTV)? if the winner is not notified ahead of time to be sure they are home. Nobody has ever been able to answer that question.

  6. Will you still trust in him after tomorrow night? We are all children of God, will he answer your prayer and not mine? uhm…… something to ponder.

    mary on March 14, 2010 at 10:28 pm
  7. I hope I win, I’m 30 with 4 kids and I have cancer! – need a house and that money to help me get better! I pray to god this is for me! I’m sure everyone deserves it though! God bless everyone

    • Dearest Danielle, may God's healing and provision be upon you. God is so much bigger than the HGTV Dream Home. I pray that you will feel His healing touch today in a supernatural way and that blessings will rain down on you beyond your wildest dreams.

      Karen on March 15, 2010 at 12:27 am
    • We are hoping it is us also. We have family in New Mexico who would be so excited to have us closer. That house is perfect for us. We have grandkids that would love the playhouse, and a 9 year old that would love that kids room and 14 year old who would love to make that guest room her own. We are all excited and anxiouse to see who is the winner. good luck to all and if I win everyone is invited to the part, I need help cooking and preparing lol.

  10. I can't believe the BIG DAY is finally upon us. I have been telling my husband since day one that I was going to win this BEAUTIFUL 2010 Dream Home for us. I have taken the virtual tour so many times I already feel at home.
    Monday! Monday!! Come'on I'm waiting to be ambushed.

  14. Congratulations to the winner!!! I loved dreaming that this house was meant for our family! My husband relocated here to Buffalo, and we would've loved to move back to his family and friends!! The mountains are something you never get over once you leave them :) ))))

  15. Well here it is Sunday March 14th at 5:50p.pm. and no one is ringing my door bell with a bunch of balloons
    soooooo… I guess I'm the big loser again! Jan of Fl thank for your message of hope. God dose know how much I dream of owning my own home and being free from renting and all the limitations the comes with that. I've never been married and yet put myself through college and raised two families buy myself. My granddaughter is 15 and has been with me for 14yrs. Maybe some day soon the bells will ring and it will be my turn….guess I'll go buy a lottery ticket . Never never give up hope!!!

    NATENE on March 15, 2010 at 3:57 am
  22. This experience has been exciting, frustrating and inspiring. I am now dreaming to work very diligently in my business to build my DH, hopefully in RENO, NV. I also am in need of contractors. So please contact me via email; info@alisrecovery.com. Once again, this was exciting and congrats to the homeowner!

    gilbert on March 15, 2010 at 4:17 am
  24. Hello and good luck to all that entered. I had a really emotional day today. Just upset about how somethings are in my life. I’ve been praying as well. This home could really make a 360 change in every aspect of my life. For so long all I’ve been wanting is a home to call my own. I’m so tired of struggling! I’m sure many of you are going through the same life issues as I am. Even if I don’t win I know I can’t give up. Only one will win and if its not you, don’t give up on your goals and keep GOD in your life. It will get better!

    praying hard! on March 14, 2010 at 11:20 pm
  25. Amen!

    Donna on March 15, 2010 at 12:16 pm
  26. I feel a big party coming on… thanks for the fun…and I want to thank my mom and dad and all who brought me here.

      • I was hopeful too. I love how inspiring this home was to so many. But, an ask.com search says a Patricia Gonzales is the winner.

  32. hey guys….so do you all think the winner already knows and has been jumping up and down the past 24hrs? could they possibly pull of a live showing of this?

    Yasenia on March 15, 2010 at 3:22 pm
  33. Car just broke down, wife out looking for work, and our lease ends this month with no other option in sight….We've been glued to the screen watching the videos/pics/blogs for ages now. I have my fingers, legs, toes, arms, all of it crossed in hopes of some good luck!!!!! In any case I wish the winner (whoever it may be) the best of luck and the happiest life in their new home. It's so beautiful and who wouldn't want to move to New Mexico!?!?!? GOOD LUCK ALL!

    Gil on March 15, 2010 at 3:40 pm
  34. What HGTV is just mean. They chose the winner weeks ago. they have been notified and filmed. What you see on Monday night is just that film,. If you haven't been notified by now you didn't win! They want you to watch so they are not telling you the truth. You will notice that the girl driving around looking for the winner it was pitch dark. But it was still lite outside. (live in same time zone). this was filmed days before and then showed on Monday nite. What a terrible thing to do to people. People waiting, painting, getting hair done today for something already decided.

    Betty Bowden on March 15, 2010 at 3:41 pm
    • I agree, they keep people coming back here and checking for almost 2 months by allowing entries evry day. They really only need to have one per person, but then people wouldn't be coming here everyday and their numbers wouldn't be nearly as good. I think they just really cuse a lot of sadness for some that just hope for such a long period of time. like I said, if it was just one entry per person, it would be so much less vested in the contest. But, hgtv would have less people running to view their prize. One that's pretty much just that, a dream. sad to say, but true.

      Diana R. on March 15, 2010 at 11:45 pm
  35. I just cant wait for BIG DAY!!!!! 9 hours left!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

    momo on March 15, 2010 at 3:50 pm
  36. My house in on the NE corner. Come up the driveway to the last door on the right, next to the garage. We'll be the bug-eyed, hyper-ventilating ones waiting at the door…

    Marina on March 15, 2010 at 4:50 pm
  37. I can't focus today! All I keep dreaming about is winning that house!!!!! Good luck to everyone!

    GBadilla on March 15, 2010 at 4:50 pm
  38. Wishing good luck to the winner…. but, I hope its me

    Anne on March 15, 2010 at 4:55 pm
  39. well ive lost all hope since yesterday. hopefully something more better comes along soon before i lose my mind. God bless the winner.

    have32score4 on March 15, 2010 at 5:06 pm
  40. Has the winner already been notified? Or does the winner find out w all of america on the 15th? Could I still have a chance?

    Brittany Hendricks on March 15, 2010 at 5:28 pm
    • good question??????

      deb on March 15, 2010 at 8:29 pm
  41. Don't even know what I'm doing at work today! I should be home awaiting their arrival! :P I stepped outside for a sec and overheard some people's conversations – I think it's getting to me, I'm hearing people and it sounds like they've won just by their conversations…shake it off, shake it off, the luck might still be on it's way.

    GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE! ESPECIALLY US :P :D

    Gil on March 15, 2010 at 6:08 pm
  42. I think I see my entry on the left there :) )) Well congrats to the winner can't wait to see who it is tonight. I know its not me :( (( No one came at my door step on the 14th.

    sue on March 15, 2010 at 7:21 pm
  43. OMG!!!!! I have been counting down the seconds until the winner is revealed, I HOPE ITS US!!!!! Only 5 hours and 30 minutes left!!!!

    Paige on March 15, 2010 at 7:29 pm
  44. The 2010 DH is going to be a hard act for the 2011 DH team to follow. But then again maybe I'm just a little biased because I so love the high desert country. What a life-changing journey this winner is about to embark upon. I wish them a world of happy experiences and memories.

    Me&Khaz&Simi on March 15, 2010 at 7:29 pm
  45. I know!!!! I feel good about this!

    Paige on March 15, 2010 at 7:30 pm
  46. I'm interested about the Winners Life …What type of home do they currently Own or Rent…lol they might already have a Dream Home to others

    Lyn on March 15, 2010 at 7:49 pm
    • That's usually how these givaways work. If you notice, most of the winners are pretty well off to begin with. You never hear of any that were unemployed or living in a rental or something like that. it just doesn't happen. I doubt I will even watch the show. I think it would be good for them to have their viewers down instead of sky high with people who still think they have a chance. I'm sure the winner has known for quite a while. Don't think I'm trying to be mean, please, I just havt to look at it realistic. I wonder if they don't actually know who the winner will be before they pick. As in someone they know or something. Well, God Bless everyone here. Maybe not this, but hopefully somewhere else.

      Diana R on March 15, 2010 at 11:51 pm
  47. well tonight the big night i really hope its a ambush today live to me that would make for a better show,a suprise is a suprise so hgtv i want to see suprise faces lol,lol

    christina on March 15, 2010 at 3:13 pm
  48. I'm at work as well boy was it tempting to stay home and wait. I get off soon and I know they will be waiting for me to give me my dream house. To do it live is the only way to go the anticipation is mind staggering. God bless all of us

    Carla on March 15, 2010 at 8:19 pm
  49. Im home and ready for great news!!!!! please please let it be meeeee!!!!

    Lilly on March 15, 2010 at 8:33 pm
  50. I am very anxious for tonight. I will definetely tune in to watch and hear the winner. I would be more happy then I have ever been to win such a beautiful home. I do know that I am lucky enough now to have such a beautiful home already. I wish the best of luck to all those who entered. If only we could all win something so magnificant! To the winner: My best thoughts and prayers are with you. May you and your family love your new "home" and appreciate it. Although I still wish it were me, I am quite happy for you. To all those who didn't win (which will probably include myself): We always have next year! Keep your chin up and head high, for many other opportunities will come your way! My best thoughts are with everyone. I can't wait to here the winner. Thank you for taking the time to read this! -Alexandra Kathryn
